SInce there is so much talk about people allergic to PG ,how do I tell ? How long do you give it ? my family had a cold which i think they gave me but not sure if its allergies/ cold so say wait one week? I dont care about strong throat hit so can i use just VG if the PG is a prob ? ( not into mixing yet )

Ms. Nancy pg allergy can show in many ways. Breaking out in hives, chest tightening, throat irritation... Are you allergic to alcohol by any chance? Pg is an alcohol, and it's a safe bet if you're allergic to it, you're allergic to pg. A good test is use a very small amount of lotion or acne cream that contains pg on your forearm and see if there's a reaction. Have benadryl on hand just in case....

Welcome aboard wayj4ver, one day at a time, every hour is a battle, every day is another major victory....sounds like you are doing just fine. If it's any consolation if you can get through the first month it will get easier. Just remember that vaping will dehydrate you so make sure to double up your water intake, if you are vaping you should be drinking too. It especially important as it will help flush those 599 chemical additives that are in tobacco many of which are designed to strengthen addiction. Those good ol' boys at Philip Morris refer to them as Client Retention additives or Customer loyalty enhancers.

So vape, drinks lot of water and enjoy!

Cartos are cartos, they are simply the containment vessels....so it all comes down to the flavor lines. Premium Flavors are believed to be 80/20 pg/vg blend which is kind of an industry standard, Wow Flavors are believed to be 70/30 pg/vg blend. However, this varies and is proprietary information but I use custom juices and would say that from my other experiences that those ratios are correct give or take +/- a few points.
